just grab a hold of my hand, I will lead you through this wonderland…

Misty contacted me back in the spring about her summer 2016 wedding. We went for coffee and conversation quickly turned to planning out their engagement session. We decided on a fall session at a park her & Cole love to spend time at in Burnaby. This summer flew by and before I knew it, autumn was here. I’ve been looking forward to their engagement session since we first went for coffee and let me tell you, these two killed it!

Deer Lake Park is always a beautiful location, but this warm Sunday evening it looked absolutely magical. The flowers were still in bloom, the leaves all changing colours to beautiful yellows, reds & oranges, and the golden hour light filtered down through the trees; it was stunning. These two were so photogenic I still can’t get over it! It was so much fun to watch the way they interacted & laugh together. Cole made sure to keep things light hearted and fun, easily putting a smile on Misty’s face. You can see the way they care for each other & I am so excited for their wedding at Manning Park next summer!

I had a great time with you Misty + Cole!

Up on the blog today is a unique post! We were invited to Indulgent Doggilama’s quaint Tutt Street location in Kelowna, BC last week to get a behind-the-scenes look at how they make their doggie biscuits in-store by hand!

Meet Michelle Bell – the lady behind Indulgent Doggilama! 

Michelle hails from Australia (aussie aussie aussie, oi oi oi!) and was trained at the University of New South Wales in 1988 as a part of a comprehensive pet nutrition course. She is also a Certified Executive Chef (for people, not just our pups!)! Not only that but this lady has a heart of gold – more often than not, she can be caught giving away way too many “trial” biscuits to the pups, but her commitment to bring awareness to proper pet nutrition is inspiring!

This store is seriously amazing, and Michelle’s experience and knowledge in pet nutrition is astounding! Everything at their cozy Pandosy area location is locally sourced, locally made & locally owned! Let me tell you, my fur babies go absolutely bonkers when they realize they’re about to get Indulgent’s treats! If you’d like to place an order or book a nutrition consult with Michelle for your pet, head on over to their website at indulgentdoggilama.ca! Till then, get the napkins ready because your mouth will be watering by the end of this blog post… Did I mention everything is human grade and there’s bacon involved?! Sounds like trouble to me…. 😉

Part 2 of my time with Alex and Michaella is here! While they met and fell in love and currently reside in the Okanagan, North Vancouver holds a special place in their hearts! I got to spend a couple of hours here with them, they showed me their favourite spots, the to die for donuts (I’m not kidding you – these things are dangerously addictive!), and the views – and I got to grab a couple last shots of them in one of their favourite places together.

Alex + Michaella are seriously one of the cutest couples around – I love these two! We go way back – Michaella and I have actually known each other since middle school when we went to the same small private school in Kelowna and then I met Alex when they started dating in high school!

I was thrilled when they were able to come visit for the May Long weekend, and of course they weren’t even in town for more than an hour before I whisked them away, up Chilliwack Lake Rd, for a quick couples portrait session.
